Founded in 1979 by Andy Bostinto, the National Gym Association (NGA) is a non-profit organization whose mission is "to inform and support athletes through education, personal fitness training and certification programs" and to encourage "the art and science of natural strength training and bodybuilding." The NGA has supported "all natural" (drug free) professional and amateur bodybuilding competitions across the United States of America since the 1980s. Blair Dean has been a promoter of these competitions in Utah for over thirty-five years.
The Blair Dean Utah natural bodybuilding video collection (1983-2001) consists of video recordings of National Gym Association (NGA) natural bodybuilding competitions in Utah and other states.
